Tesla sales rise 36% in first quarter, following price cuts

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 10:56:25 GMT

DETROIT (AP) — Tesla’s first-quarter vehicle sales rose 36% after the company cut prices twice in a bid to stimulate demand.The electric car, SUV and heavy truck maker said it delivered 422,875 vehicles worldwide from January to March, up from just over 310,000 a year ago. But the increase fell short of analyst estimates of 432,000 for the quarter, according to FactSet.Tesla cut prices in early March on its more expensive models, the S and X, by $5,000 to as much as $10,000. In January it slashed the sticker numbers on several versions of its EVs, making some eligible for a U.S. $7,500 federal tax credit. Some versions of the top-selling Model Y small SUV saw price trims of nearly 20%, and the base price of the Model 3 small car was dropped by 6%.Analysts are watching to see if the price drops cut into the company’s profit and margins per vehicle. The company says it will release first-quarter after the markets close on April 19.Tom Krisher, The Associated Press

NEW YORK — Already facing a flurry of competition at the catching spot, the road for Joey Bart only became more difficult Sunday, as the Giants announced that the former first-round pick had been ruled out until at least midway through their upcoming homestand.Bart, 26, was placed on the 10-day injured list before San Francisco’s Sunday series finale against the Yankees.

With the move retroactive to Friday, Bart will be eligible to return for next Monday’s series opener against the Dodgers.In the meantime, th...
